Former child star Aaron Carter has been forced to sit out a performance of his Off-Broadway show after falling sick. The singer/actor has been appearing in The Fantasticks at New York City’s Snapple Theatre Center since November, and he recently returned to the stage after a leave of absence following the death of his sister Leslie.

However, Carter has now been taken ill and will miss one of this week’s performances.

In a series of posts on Twitter.com, he writes, “Had to call out… Sick day The Fantasticks… Damn!! I’m up early… that’s what happens when your (sic) sick!”

However, Carter is determined to recover in time to perform a solo show in Allentown, Pennsylvania next Wednesday.

He adds, “I’ll see you this (sic) Wednesday. Trying to get better for you guys…”
